I want to work in the BC oil and gas industry but don’t want to live in Northeast BC year around. What are my options?
A For full time, year around work, most employers prefer or require that their workers relocate where they can be readily available for work. “Fly In / Fly Out” on a scheduled shift rotation is not common in the BC oil and gas service sector at this time. However, experienced workers whose occupations are “in demand” may wish to propose alternate or non-traditional scheduling to potential employers who may not have considered the option. When presented with qualified workers in hard to fill positions, they may be able to negotiating a more flexible work arrangement.
